As for my bit about the chariot - it is becase "I don't have the time" is the worst excuse ever. You can apply it to anything. It is merely a coded message implying that the person is not willing to make time. Because, you know, everyone makes time for things they enjoy.

Just be honest and say you don't care. It's not like anyone will be surprised.

Also I want to FILTER THIS OUT for a second and mention that 'I do not have time' is sometimes a legit reason. Life goes up and down and sometimes people may find themselves super busy for long periods at a time. Even if they can find time for leisure (and people always do, as going without SOME sort of leisure leads to insanity), WHAT they make time for has certain levels of priority. Like, if I'm busy with exams, a job, and an internship, and I only have time for one 'fun' thing to do, and I have to pick between playing an RM game (or any video game) and say...hanging out with my brother on leave from the Air Force or seeing a concert with my girlfriend, well, which one of those three activities is going to be on the bottom of the ladder? (answer; playing video games)

At least for me. There HAVE been periods of time where I AM too busy, and when I DO make time for fun, it's some OTHER fun that's higher on the list than playing amateur games, even if I like doing that a lot.

I mean I see the general point you're trying to make and I agree, but I wanted to point out that caveat.

And people call me an asshole.

I don't see how, 1) playing games by people I respect or 2) expecing them to be competent/complete, or at least MARGINALLY interesting is being an asshole. It is certainly better than somebody saying "I don't play anything ever because everything (other than my game/in 2k3, XP, VX/that is over or under some arbitrary amount of megabytes in size) sucks."

Even with these preconditions I play far more games than most people here.

I think it's less of that and more of "I play games by people I like and respect BY THE WAY THAT'S NEXT TO NONE OF YOU"

I mean you can't be surprised for someone to take ill with that comment. I mean on behalf of everyone else who may be wondering; what's wrong with us exactly? Especially since the majority active community around here is pretty intelligent, competent, and friendly.
